What we’re about
Welcome to the Jane Austen & Beyond Book Club!
If 19th century literature and Jane Austen are your thing, come join us for literary analysis and spirited discussion over a nice of cup of tea or perhaps a meal!
The book club will meet at minimum once a month, typically on Friday evenings. We typically read 19th century British literature (not just Jane Austen!) On occasion, we will also plan fun themed events and cultural activities.
We'll discuss the book on the scheduled date, and ideally most members would have finished the book by then. You're welcome to attend if you haven't finished the book, but there will be spoilers!
If you'd like to connect with other like-minded people and make new friendships, this is the group for you!
